CHAMPIONSGATE, Fla. – Drivers on a busy road near the Osceola-Polk County line are facing detours this week as work is happening on a years-long Interstate 4 improvement project.
From June 22-26, both directions of ChampionsGate Boulevard will be closed under I-4 between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
According to the Florida Department of Transportation, the shutdown is needed for bridgework connected to the Moving I-4 Forward Initiative.
The $2.5 billion plan is made up of five projects to transform the interstate’s busiest corridor in Osceola and Polk Counties.
The state is working to improve 14 miles of highway, which includes adding two express lanes in each direction.
The work has been building off an accelerated start to the initiative that added traffic-relief lanes to I-4 in 2025.
For the overnight closure on ChampionsGate Boulevard, drivers who wish to travel east would take the road westbound, turn left onto eastbound Ronald Reagan Parkway, then turn left onto northbound Lake Wilson Road, and continue to C.R. 532.
